Arlington Town Meeting » general http://arlington.town-meeting.org Coverage of and commentary on Arlington Town Meeting Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:11:03 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Doing it differently this year http://arlington.town-meeting.org/2006/04/25/doing-it-differently-this-year/ http://arlington.town-meeting.org/2006/04/25/doing-it-differently-this-year/#comments Tue, 25 Apr 2006 06:06:29 +0000 Rich Carreiro http://arlington.town-meeting.org/2006/04/25/doing-it-differently-this-year/ I’m doing my notes differently this year. Each night, each warrant article discussed will get its own post instead of there being a single mega-post for all. Now that I’m using a blog with commenting facilities, I wanted people to be able to comment on article individually.

I look forward to representing Precinct 19 for another three years.

It is the official rulebook of Arlington’s Town Meeting except to the extent that the Town by-laws and state law provide to the contrary.

The annual election is Saturday, 1 April (hmm… :-)) and TM will start on 24 April. You all should have received your warrants by now. Only 67 articles this year, so one of the shorter ones. Ought to be interesting to see how long it takes this time.

Remember to check the ballot for your precincts — many precincts have open slots, so consider running as a write-in!

I hope you all find this site easier to deal with than the old blogspot site. Like before, I’d like to see people (besides me) posting their takes on TM here. I also plan to have open commenting on as well (unless comment spam becomes too much of an issue). Content will gradually be added as we move closer to the 2006 TM. RSS feeds for both the posts and the comments are available. Enjoy (and participate)!
